I think you should give yourself credit for even getting to work and doing it. That's a hell of an achievement right there!

Thanks, love ya too lily.

I will try to take it day by day. Some days will go easier than others. It gets really, really hard though.
I am afraid of not being able to keep up with the job, but I think part of it, is that I have to really be assertive with the supervisors that I need more training, being new to this. It's a hard thing to do, and I felt discouraged when a co-worker made that comment about me not keeping up yet. I thought it was rude of her, especially since I've always been driven to be the best that I can. When I show signs of being inadequate, it makes me feel terrible, since I already put pressure on myself.
We made up though, because she didn't mean to make me upset. It's a sign I'm going manic when I am overzealous about certain things, and sometimes I get fixated on being as high of an achiever as possible. That's sometimes a trigger for crashing, because eventually, I can't keep up. I'll try to cope and hang in there. Anyways, thanks for the support!
